I’m currently still using gmail unfortunately

Cock.li (airmail.cc)looks very nice but it is invite only

Courts can require you to provide your password in some circumstances. Where your email is stored is irrelevant.

In that case Proton wouldn’t be providing the data, the user would be. Proton can’t provide what they don’t have.

That seems unlikely since your data is encrypted with a password they don’t have.

You were being mislead with false information. Share appropriate sources to back up whatever you are saying. Proton has regular audits for security and encryption for all their products, which makes whatever you’ve been told pretty much false information

Vast majority of Proton users signed up because Proton promises your data is safe at rest. Even from them. In fact, they specifically advertise this protects them from subpoenas because they cannot provide decrypted copy of user’s data.

Of course, the only emails that are encrypted with proton are proton->proton. Mail between proton and anyone else, like say gmail, isn’t encrypted unless you pgp it separately.

Not fully correct. Mails between Proton users are E2E encrypted where Proton cannot see them, and rest of the emails are encrypted at rest once Proton receives them. Based on the audits and open source code, Proton is not keeping a copy of those emails when it receives them, and once they are encrypted, nobody but you will have access to it
